Pladask Elektrisk Matrise Demo

Today I'm demonstrating the Matrise by Pladask Elektrisk. The Matrise is a matrix mixer, and basically allows you to route any of its 4 inputs to any of its 4 outputs. This creates a surprisingly deep tool set for manipulating audio and routing pedals to and fro.

We’ve had this explosion of new pedals over the last month and a half, and while it was tempting to take on a new pedal, I decided to do what I always do, which is choose an older pedal and make a video manual for it.

Utility pedals like the Matrise aren’t as flashy as, say a new delay pedal… but when it’s hooked up, the Matrise can deliver an insane variety of sounds. It’s a core component to my pedalboard nowadays. I couldn’t live without it. Well, I could, but life wouldn’t be as fun…

I hope this demo is helpful. I struggled with this pedal for a while before I figured it out, and I’m hoping to help other people learn it faster with this video.

The Matrise Cheat Sheet is a tool I made for myself, because I kept plugging the ^&#^$* cables into the wrong ports. But after I realized how much time it was saving me, I decided to share it with everyone.

I’ve posted 2 versions of it… a Powerpoint and a PDF. The Powerpoint version is cool because you can do a “Find/Replace” on the text for your pedal names. If you don’t own Powerpoint, you can make a Google account, and upload it to Google Slides, and use it that way.

Initially, I wanted to make a fancy interactive pdf form, but I quickly realized that I am too stupid to do so. Maybe someday…

As always, please send me any suggestions on how to make it better.
